Don't let ANYONE bully you!
Is someone trying to co-op your image? Tromping around trespassing on your property? Pretending your property is theirs by using it in their brochures? Is a government employee trying to bully you into letting them on your property? Do you know that NO ONE and NO AGENCY, STATE OR FEDERAL, is above the law? Click here.

We the People- NOT government - OWN federal lands. We the People hire government employees to “manage”- NOT “control” - these lands. Through chain of title and beneficial use, historic law supports the fact that some users of federal lands have long established historic rights that have never been extinguished.

These rights include ownership of water and forage, and possibly even the land. Federal employees have the legal responsibility to obey the authority of those who have said ownerships, and not the reverse. LAW USA

August 17, 2013Obamacare - Good Enough for You, But not Good Enough for Congress
If you want to get a very clear idea of the utter contempt in which our corrupt political class holds the voters who put them in office, look no further than the Congressional Obamacare exemption. Don’t confuse this with previous exemptions a bystander Congress has allowed the Obama administration to award supportive unions and other politically favored groups. Click here to continue ...

September 11, 2013To bee or not to bee - Reports of honeybees rapidly disappearing are greatly exaggerated

Activist groups continue to promote scary stories that honeybees are rapidly disappearing, dying off at “mysteriously high rates,” potentially affecting one-third of our food crops and causing global food shortages. Time magazine says readers need to contemplate “a world without bees,” while other “mainstream media” articles have sported similar headlines.

The Pesticide Action Network and NRDC are leading campaigns that claim insecticides, especially neonicotinoids, are at least “one of the key factors,” if not the principle or sole reason for bee die-offs.

Thankfully, the facts tell a different story – two stories, actually. First, most bee populations and most managed hives are doing fine, despite periodic mass mortalities that date back over a thousand years. Second, where significant depopulations have occurred, many suspects have been identified, but none has yet been proven guilty, although researchers are closing in on several of them.

… as We the People ponder the state of our nation. A stock market plunge, a debt spike, and a flood of over-printed, under-valued currency. A European financial crises and the rise of political extremism. Heat waves scorching American crops and the devaluation of agricultural land. An abundance of poverty and a paucity of jobs. 300 full-time converted to 400 part-time positions: “job growth.” The tail end of a long and unpopular overseas conflict. Russia looming large as both enemy and ally. An Asian nation rapidly industrializing with little but domination on the mind. A lunatic spewing anti-Semitic and anti-western rhetoric, while stockpiling arms intended to destroy the lives of millions. Appeasement. 2013 looks an awful lot like 1938. Click here to continue.

Some years ago, a telegenic televangelist built quite an empire, before publicly falling from grace and adopting a less opulent life style. But back then he liked big homes and Lear jets with Rolls Royce engines and, even though Dennis’s lab primarily did environmental monitoring, his chief pilot came there because he needed demanding analyses on the methanol fuels he used for extra thrust.

There have never been mountain goats in Utah's La Sal Mountains, and for that reason the U.S. Forest Service is objecting to Utah's decision to put the animals in the small island range near Moab to eventually allow trophy hunting of the goats.

"In 1868 men came out and brought papers. We could not read them, and they did not tell us truly what was in them...When I reached Washington the Great Father (President of the United States) explained to me...that the interpreters had deceived me. All I want is right and justice. They (federal government) made us many promises, more than I can remember. But they kept but one--They promised to take our land...and they took it." Chief Red Cloud of the Ogalala
ca 1822-1909

Crestview, Florida: The 57th Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce Installation and Awards Banquet had a tongue-in-cheek Mardi Gras theme, but with very authentic food, music, and décor. The fun was shared with about 220 people including many of the area’s political and military dignitaries. The photo booth gave folks a chance to really follow the event theme of “ Let the Good Times Roll”. From champagne to crawfish etouffee to flambé bananas Foster, the atmosphere was optimistic about the economic growth and quality of life in the region.

Western Energy Alliance is pleased to release to our friends and allies the first of our “Common Ground” videos highlighting how western oil and natural gas producers protect the land where they operate. There’s Common Ground we share in safely developing abundant, affordable energy while protecting the land and environment.

It includes the language... "Grantee does not have permission to share any activity (includes hunting, fishing, dirt moving) or material (includes land, water, structure, foliage, photography, electronic image or video) they see, with any government, government agent, government contractor, representative, private entity, non-profit agent, non-government public organization or non-profit private organization."

...out of consideration of that one, who comes on your property to be the eyes and ears for those who seek to seize control of your land and water. Here's proof: "I would appreciate hearing from any (land trust/conservation easement/interested public) who has a formal policy on the reporting (to a regulatory or non-regulatory agency) of listed (State and Federal) species that they discover during a site visit to a private property." (From a circulated email.)
